Liked: Staff & service
The reception staff was very friendly and helpful. The lady who checked me in and was also on duty when I checked out was very helpful. If I am not wrong her name was Ms. Fernanole With me was my elderly mother in a wheelchair and thios lady not only pushed me to enroll in IHG membership but got me a room close to the elevator to help my aunt's mobilization. One day we had some guests and the staff provided us couple of chairs to help. The beds were quite comfortable and the bathroom was loaded and clean. I thought the hotel cleaning would be daily cleaning but they said cleaning would only happen on checkout or when we requested. We didn't have a meal at the hotel but there was a 711 in walking distance as well as a gas station. I would highly recommend this lady Ms. Fernanole and her colleague Karim who helped make our stay comfortable

Overall was good. Just noticing though that they could do a little better on maintenance. Starting to look like they are letting things slide down a bit. My entry door was rubbing the floor and was really hard to open and close. Just noticed other conditions around the property that are lacking maintenance also. But overall was a good stay.
